JOURNALIST ALERTS Tinubu To WANTOM KILLINGS In Igboland, Faults His Silence; SEE What He Revealed
Jackson Ude, a former aide to ex- President Goodluck Jonathan and an independent journalist, has criticised President Bola Tinubu for his silence amid ongoing killings in the South- East region of Nigeria. The violence stems from the enforcement of ” sit- at- home” orders by unknown gunmen, who claim to be fighting for the establishment of a Biafran state.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ude expressed his concerns, which were highlighted by LATEST_NEWS Blog. He condemned the continuous killings of Igbo people by their fellow Igbos under the guise of enforcing the controversial sit- at- home directive. According to Ude, this directive denies people their means of livelihood and exposes them to unnecessary violence.
” The continuous killing of Igbos by Igbos under the guise of enforcing a ‘ sit- at- home’ order to press for a Biafra State is highly irresponsible and condemned, ” Ude wrote. He called on patriotic Igbos to unite against the violence, describing it as a betrayal of the people’ s rights to seek their daily bread amidst the prevailing poverty and hunger in Nigeria.
Ude further questioned the logic behind harming the same people the agitators claim to protect. ” How does it make sense to continue denying the people you seek to protect their daily means of livelihood by enforcing a ‘ sit- at- home’ order, turn around and kill them, and then claim to be protecting them from ‘ Fulanis’ or a ‘ terrorist government’ ? ”
He proposed a political approach as the most viable and civil means to achieve a Biafran state. This would involve leveraging political platforms to elect representatives into the state Houses of Assembly in the South- East and advocating for a referendum. Ude criticised the use of violence and coercion, labelling such actions as ” childish” and ” criminal. ”

Ude also directed his disappointment at the Federal Government, accusing it of failing to act decisively to protect citizens in the South- East. He described the government’ s inaction as ” despicable, irresponsible, and dangerous. ” Additionally, he condemned the silence of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio- cultural organisation of the Igbo people, for its lacklustre response to the crisis.
” The bloodshed is too much, and the suffering of the people who are in double jeopardy must be halted, ” he wrote.
Ude emphasised the urgent need for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a potential solution to end the violent enforcement of the sit- at- home order. He warned that failure to address the issue could lead to the emergence of new groups, further escalating tensions in the region.
He concluded, ” If this does not stop, another insurgent group might begin the protection of our people from the ‘ sit- at- home’ enforcers, a situation that might throw the whole region into serious chaos! Igbos have suffered enough. ”
The situation in the South- East remains tense, with many calling on the government and relevant stakeholders to intervene and restore peace to the region. Ude’ s remarks have sparked discussions on the need for a more strategic and peaceful approach to addressing the grievances of the South- East people.
